Happy Day (11&12&)13: Put on Your Trendy Pants!

Ever wanted to live through your offspring and make sure they are the "cool kids"? Well I've got your back because today I'm showing you how to diy your way into one of the hottest trends in little wear: the drop crotch pant!

No sir, no need to change your toddler's diaper after 16 hours of wear, the drop crotch pant can hide your parental laziness! No one will ever know if it's a pile of pee, or a pile of coolness.

And the best part? You can make yours using an old sweater! In only four easy steps!

First: turn the sweater inside out and sew the neckline closed. No need to trim the excess because the more bulk, the more "bam!"

Then, turn over the waistband and sew closed, leaving a small opening to insert elastic.

Use a safety pin to scoot the elastic through.

And sew the ends together, measuring around your child's waist to be sure it will fit.

Ta-da!

Now it's time to rock your pants in public and enjoy the jealousy from all onlookers.

Have a happy day!! Stick around next week for our next tutorial: "the unisex party dress"

at the beginning I read a serious lady speaking of refashioning.then I thought "uhm...maybe she did not sleep well..." , then again "...ok...maybe it's because i'm italian and we are not into that kind of pants.."... and then only at "pile of pee or pile of coolness" my brain had a blast "she's joking!!! ok, i'm fooled... but thank you for making me laugh!! Next time i'll read you on the right day ,-)

This cracked me up! I've spent nearly every summer of my life on Shasta lake here in Northern California and when we were little we would always forget pants but have sweatshirts? So we would wear our sweatshirts as pants and wrap up towels after the sun went down on the way back to the boat launch! :)
